Crowns, implants & major work
Dental implants
A titanium root and ceramic crown that replace a missing tooth without touching its neighbours.
An implant is placed in the jaw under local anaesthetic and left to bond with the bone for around three months. Then a crown is fitted on top. We plan every implant on a 3D scan first.
The fee shown covers the implant, the connecting abutment and the crown. Bone grafting, if you need it, is quoted separately after the scan.

Questions patients ask
Am I too old for an implant?
Age itself is rarely the issue; bone and general health matter more. The scan tells us.
Can I be asleep?
We offer oral or IV sedation for implant surgery.
